Hi Jim, Thanks for you reply.
I've been working on this function on and off, so far this works: In the view: <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() {$("#no_table_name").autocomplete({source: "{{=URL('jqueryui', 'organization_autocomplete')}}", minLength: 2});}); $(function() {$("#no_table_tag").autocomplete({source: "{{=URL('jqueryui', 'nodetag_autocomplete')}}", change: function() {$("#no_table_name").val('');}, minLength: 2});}); $(function() {$("#no_table_locality").autocomplete({source: "{{=URL('jqueryui', 'addresslocality_autocomplete')}}", minLength: 2});}); </script> I think $.post() is the best way to get the value of no_table_tag to the function addresslocality_autocomplete(), something like: $.post("{{=URL('jqueryui', 'addresslocality_autocomplete')}}", { tag: $("#no_table_tag").val('');} ); and the function in the controller def addresslocality_autocomplete(): rows = db((db.node_tag.tag=='request.vars.tag) & (db.node_tag.nodeID==db.address.nodeID) &(db.address.locality.like(request.vars.term+'%'))).select(db.address.locality, distinct=True, orderby=db.address.locality).as_list() result = [r['locality'] for r in rows] return response.json(result) I tried several events to trigger $.post () but none of them worked. How do I trigger $.post() to pass the value of no_table_tag to the function?
